- 0.25 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Step 4
Add the vegetarian bacon strips to the skillet and cook until they are crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 5
Chop the cooked vegetarian bacon into small pieces.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Step 7
Add the chopped vegetarian bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, baby spinach, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 8
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 9
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully set and slightly golden on top.
Step 10
Allow the egg bites to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them.
Step 11
Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
